Stanford’s Cold War imbrications are writ large across the following pages thanks to the extraordinary archives of its resident think tank, the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace. But far more than that, a debt of gratitude is owed to friends and colleagues with whom I worked at Stanford for over two decades from the Department of Art and Art History and across campus. In 1997, I came to know Michael Marrinan and Jody Maxmin at the Nathan Cummings Art Building; together they provided support and advice to their new colleague. I also thank Alex Nemerov, as current Chair of the Department; Nancy Troy, as former Chair; and Pavle Levi, Richard Meyer, Scott Bukatman, and Jean Ma for their friendship and collegiality. Elis Imboden and the staff in the Department of Art and Art History generously enabled my research in countless ways. Many thanks to Debra Satz, the former Associate Dean and now Dean of the Humanities and Sciences. Thank you to many colleagues in Faculty against the War, especially David Palumbo-Liu for discussions on rational choice theory and the humanities. I acknowledge the late Stanford economist and national security expert Henry (“Harry”) Rowen (1925–2015), president of RAND during some of its most embattled years. Harry graciously shared memories of his think tank colleagues and their aesthetic inclinations and was nothing but receptive when asked a seemingly eccentric line of questions by an art historian. Elsewhere on “The Farm,” as Stanford is known within the community, deep bows to Fred Turner in the Department of Communication for his friendship, spirit and intellectual camaraderie, whether delighting in the work of Norbert Wiener or grousing about Silicon Valley.

  • Albert Wohlstetter's Legacy: the Neo-Cons, Not Carter, Killed
    SPECIAL REPORT: NUCLEAR SABOTAGE ALBERT WOHLSTETTER’S LEGACY Wohlstetter was even stranger than the “Dr. Strangelove” depicted in the 1964 movie of that name. An early draft of the film was titled “The Delicate Balance of Terror,” the same title as Wohlstetter’s best-known unclassified work. Here, a still from the film. tives—Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Zalmay Khalilzad, to name a few. In Wohlstetter’s circle of influence were also Ahmed Chalabi (whom Wohlstetter championed), Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-Wash.), Sen. Robert Dole (R- Kan.), and Margaret Thatcher. Wohlstetter himself was a follower of Bertrand Russell, not only in mathematics, but in world outlook. The pseudo-peacenik Russell had called for a preemptive strike against the Soviet Union, after World War II and before the Soviets developed the bomb, as a prelude to his plan for bully- ing nations into a one-world government. Russell, a raving Malthusian, opposed economic development, especially in the Third World. Admirer Jude Wanniski wrote of Wohlstetter in an obituary, “[I]t is no exaggeration, I think, to say that Wohlstetter was the most influential unknown man in the world for the past half century, and easily in the top ten in importance of all men.” “Albert’s decisions were not automat- ically made official policy at the White House,” Wanniski wrote, “but Albert’s The Neo-Cons, Not Carter, genius and his following were such in the places where it counted in the Establishment that if his views were Killed Nuclear Energy resisted for more than a few months, it

Over the last fifteen months the Commission has received valuable counsel from members of Congress, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Service Chiefs. and the Presdent's Science Advisor, Members of the National Security Council Staff, numerous professionals in the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, and a broad range of specialists outside the government provided unstinting support. We are also indebted to the Commission's hardworking staff. The Commission was supported generously by several specialized study groups that closely analyzed a number of issues, among them: the security environment for the next twenty years, the role of advanced technology in military systems, interactions between offensive and defensive systems on the periphery of the Soviet Union, and the U.S, posture in regional conflicts around the world. Within the next few months, these study groups will publish detailed findings of their own.

As shocking as this may sound, Dr. Albert Wohlstetter and Dr. Fred Ikle, the two principal authors of the presidential report, Discriminate Deterrence. have beenidentified to this news service by highly reliabJe U.S. intelligence sources as prime suspects in a Soviet-Israeli "false flag" spy ring first exposed with the November 1985 arrest of Jonathan Jay Pollard and the December 1987 arrest of Shabtai Kalmanowitch. On Feb. 19, 1988, Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodwardpublished a front-page story detailing the Pentagon and CIA's futile search for "Mr. X," the designation for a high-level intelligence community mole who was believed to be providing Pollard with top secret code numbers of classified military documents that Pollard, a counterterrorist analyst at a Naval Investigative Service facility in Suitland, Md., would then pilfer and pass on to Israeli and Soviet intelligence. Shabtai Kalmanowitch, a Russian-born Israeli multi-millionaire, soon to be tried in Israel as a KGB spy, is widely believed to have been one of the Israel-Soviet "back channels" through which the "Mr.

Bush administration’s foreign policy are becoming. “Acquiring additional burdens by engag- ing in new wars of liberation is the last thing the United States needs,” declared one Bush critic in Foreign Affairs. “The principal problem is the mistaken belief that democracy is a talisman for all the world’s ills, and that the United States has a responsibility to promote dem- ocratic government wherever in the world it is lacking.”1 Does this sound like a Democratic pundit bashing Bush for par- tisan gain? Quite the contrary. The swipe came from Dimitri Simes, president of the Nixon Center and copublisher of National Interest. Simes is not alone in calling on the administration to reclaim the party’s pre-Reagan heritage—to abandon the moralistic, Wilsonian, neoconservative dream of exporting democracy and return to a more limited and realistic foreign policy that avoids the pitfalls of Iraq. 1.
